TECHNICAL DATA

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• The power of the View Plus display is supplied by the Valeo ebike system battery.
• Please read the battery, charger and the Valeo Cyclee™ mobile app user manual before using the View Plus display.

Switching the system On

• To switch the e-bike system On you may briefly press the On/Off button on the display.
• If your Valeo Cyclee™ System is in lock mode you may need to enter a pin code or unlock the e-bike via the Valeo Cyclee™ mobile app. Please refer to the lock mode section below.
• You can also turn the e-bike system On by pressing the On/Off button of the battery.

Switching the system Off

• To switch Off the e-bike system press the On/Off button, the display and the whole system is switched off.
• A short press on the On/Off button will simply turn the system Off, when a long press will turn the system Off and put it in lock mode.
• If no energy is drawn from the e-bike system for some time and the e-bike is not moving the system will shut off on its own.

Always switch the system/battery Off before removing or installing the battery onto the e-bike.

Lock mode

• The lock mode is the anti-theft function of your Valeo Cyclee™ system.

Before using the lock mode for the first time you need to enable this function in your Valeo Cyclee™ mobile app.

• When in lock mode the electrical assistance is automatically shut-off and the integrated gearbox switches in neutral position without any possibility to crank.

• When lock mode is activated the display screen is only showing the lock icon. To activate the bike you need to enter the pin code previously selected on the Valeo Cyclee™ Mobile app or unlock directly through the app.

• To read more about the lock mode please refer to the Valeo Cyclee™ mobile app user manual.

ASSISTANCE LEVEL

• The drive is activated as soon as you step on the pedals (except in assistance level “Off”). The motor output depends on the assistance level selected.
• As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or as soon as you have reached the speed limit of your e-bike, the assistance from the e-bike motor is switched off.
• The motor is automatically reactivated as soon as you start pedaling again and the speed is below the speed limit of your e-bike.

Assistance modes

• You can select the level of assistance you need from the e-bike motor by selecting the correct assistance mode on the display.
• The assistance level can be changed at any time, even while riding.
• The following assistance levels are available on your Valeo e-bike system

• To select the desired assistance level press the assistance level button on the display.

The assistance modes follow this sequence

• Note : in assistance mode “Predict” the assistance is set by the system according to the rider cadence and power output. In this mode the gearbox is always set to automatic by the smart e-bike system. Manual shifting is not possible in Predict mode.
• The Predictive mode does not allow the switch from Automatic to Manual gearbox.
• To change the gear in manual mode, you must be on the Turbo or Eco mode and then press the Gearbox mode selection button located on the remote control and thento Upshift to Downshift

Assistance level|

Description

---|---
Off| Assistance deactivated
Eco| Battery saver mode
Predict| Smart adaptive mode

• The motor output depends on the force applied on the pedals by the rider and the assistance mode selected, up to 130 Nm in Turbo or Predict mode.

VALEO CYCLEE™

GEAR SELECTION

Gearbox modes
Your Valeo Cyclee™ e-bike system is equipped with a gearbox integrated in the mid drive unit. The gearbox can be operated manually by the rider or automatically by the Valeo Cyclee™ e-bike system.

• Note : some e-bikes can be equipped with a reverse mode. Generally on cargo bikes this mode will help you to back up and maneuver with heavy payloads. The reverse mode is not present on other e-bikes.
• The mode selected is visible in the bottom right corner of your display screen.

• To change between gearbox modes press the gearbox mode button on your deported remote (1). A long press will put the system in reverse mode on equipped bikes.

Gearbox in manual mode

• In manual mode the rider has control over the gear shifting. The gear selected is shown in the bottom right corner of the display screen as a number “N/7”.
• To change the gear in manual mode press the “+” or “-” buttons on the deported remote.
• “+” to Upshift
• “-” to Downshift
• The gear-shifting should be used in the same way as with a normal bicycle. By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your speed and range while applying the same amount of force on the pedals.

Note : When the selected gear is flashing on the display, the system indicates that it is not possible to shift the gear. Briefly stop pedaling to let the gear engage and resume pedaling. Please refer to your bike shop if this error occurs frequently.

Gearbox in automatic mode

• In automatic mode, the e-bike smart system is selecting the best gear available for you according to your pedaling cadence and the terrain profile.
• In automatic mode ”A” is showing in the bottom right corner of the display screen.
• The Predictive mode does not allow the switch from Automatic to Manual gearbox
• To change the gear in manual mode, you must be on the Turbo or Eco mode and then press the Gearbox mode selection button located on the remote control and then“+” to Upshift “-” to Downshift.

Gearbox in reverse mode

• The reverse mode allows the rider to back up and maneuver the bike easily even with heavy payload. Once in reverse mode, the rider can  activate it by pushing gently the throttle of the deported remote.
• The reverse mode isn’t present on all systems and is usually reserved to cargo bikes.
• In reverse mode “R” is shown in the bottom right corner of the display screen.

SWITCH LIGHTS ON/OFF

• On bikes equipped with lighting powered by the e-bike battery, the front and rear lights can be controlled from the display unit by pressing briefly the “lights” button.

• When the lights are on, the light icon is showing on the display screen.

• Pressing again the button will switch off the lights and the icon will disappear from the display screen.

SPEED AND DISTANCE
The display unit allows the rider to see essential information about the e-bike and the trip according to the unit selected (km or miles). Main functions are:

Speed| e-bike current speed, measured from the motor and speed sensor on the rear wheel
---|---
Trip distance| Daily distance, the trip distance can be reseted by a long press on the light button  and the assistance level

button simultaneously.

e-bike range| Autonomy left with the current state of charge of the battery and depending on the selected assistance mode
Total distance / ODO| Total distance covered with the e-bike

• The unit KM/h or MPH can be adjusted by changing this setting in your Valeo Cyclee™ mobile app.

BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE & CHARGING MODE

• Before charging your e-bike for the first time please read the battery and charger user guide.

State of charge

• The state of charge of the battery is directly visible on the display screen when it is switched On. The state of charge is indicated by the battery icon on the top right corner of the screen. The battery icon is composed of 5 blocks, each block representing 20% of the total battery capacity.

Charging mode

• When the e-bike battery is charged while on the bike, the display screen only indicates the battery icon showing an approximate state of charge and the exact value at the bottom of the screen.

WALK ASSIST AND BOOST MODE

Walk assist

• The walk assist mode is helping you to push the e-bike when walking on its side. The walk assist mode is moving the bike forward up to 6 km/h or 3.7 mph.
  You can activate the walk assist by holding down the throttle of the deported remote. When releasing the throttle the walk assist stops automatically.

Note : In reverse mode, pushing the throttle will move the bike backwards.

In walk assist or reverse mode the pedals may turn at the same time. Make sure there is enough space between yourself and the e-bike.

Boost mode

• To activate the boost mode, hold down the throttle when riding. The throttle acts as an On/Off switch and as soon as you release the throttle the boost mode will stop.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance mode

• When maintenance is needed on your Valeo e-bike system the display screen shows the wrench icon. The associated maintenance code is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
• The wrench may be blinking in case of a minor issue or if maintenance is required.
• When a critical error occurs the wrench icon will be fixed and associated with an error code. When this happens, stop riding your e-bike immediately and visit your authorized Valeo Cyclee™ dealer.
